Thousands of Gambians, mostly youth, took to the streets on July 23 in a historic anti-corruption protest, one of the largest in recent history. Led by Gambians Against Looted Assets (GALA), protesters demanded justice, transparency, and accountability from the government.

The demonstration was a culmination of months of mobilization by GALA, a people-powered movement that emerged earlier this year, in response to damning reports on the mismanagement of the sale of former president Yahya Jammeh’s recovered assets. According to GALA spokesperson Saibo, the movement started after an investigative report revealed irregularities in the sale of Jammeh’s seized properties.
